Holden’s ACU rating is in the toilet. He has gotten a “16” over the past two years in a row, well below Specter’s 42. That would not be an improvement. Where McHale would be an improvement is that he actually went to work for the Bush Administration as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense, so he clearly has national security credentials. I think he would vote even more Conservatively than he did when in the House.
I had forgotten McHale worked for the Bush adminstration. That indeed might cause the RATs to blow a gasket and line up to vote against him in the RAT primary. I can see it now... the Kos types and MoveOn.org crowd ranting “McHale was part of Chimpy Bushitler Jr.’s millitary-industrial complex war for OIL we gotta STOP the neocon!!!”
